Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Clinical Medicine
- Public Health
Background:
- The 1st International Consensus Conference for Advanced Breast Cancer (ABC 1) convened in November 2011.
- The conference addressed the need for standardized management strategies for advanced breast cancer.
- International experts gathered to establish consensus on key clinical questions.
Framework:
- Development of consensus guidelines for advanced breast cancer management.
- Focus on evidence-based recommendations for treatment and care.
- Multidisciplinary approach to address complex patient needs.
Implementation:
- Summarization of the international consensus guidelines developed at ABC 1.
- Dissemination of best practices for advanced breast cancer care.
- Facilitation of global adoption of standardized treatment protocols.
Implications:

02:50Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

02:57Targeted Cancer Therapies
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
